A visit to Maker Faire Berlin 2018

In the weekend of 26/27 may, Maker Faire Berlin was organized at FEZ Berlin.

As you all know, I’m a big fan of the whole Maker movement and the Maker Faires.

So in preparation to Eindhoven Maker Faire 2018, I visited #MFB18 this year.

It was a great experience, even when it was a lot of traveling only for 1 day of Maker faire activities. The Eindhoven maker faire organisation also got a spot, right in front of the entrance. Our soap bubble machine worked wonders on the enthusiastic kids (and adults).
the picture below give a nice overview of the event.
I have to say I was positively surprise by the size, number of participants and most of all the venue itself. Of course the Klokgebouw is also fantastic, but the available space at FEZ Berlin is much bigger and there is more nature to interact with.

Eindhoven Maker Faire 2018 – Start!

Hi all,

As you all know, I talk a lot about raspberry pi’s and even more about Maker Faire’s. (and here, and here)
Especially the Eindhoven Maker Faire is close to my nerdy hart.

Today march 22 marks the kick-off for the brand new Eindhoven Maker Faire 2018.

So much energy in the room and way too much makers sharing their passion of simply making stuff.
Sometimes in the process, improving the world and sometimes as a big exclamation point to the way we all live our lives.

Look at the program so far and get involved in the movement 🙂

“Years a go” I already knew: The Maker Faire belongs to Eindhoven!
(If only it could be in the Evoluon!)

  • I know the english adage: hidden in plain sight” but this build is too much if you ask me…. read the story and it becomes even creepier!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • The Leaning Tower of Lire.
    Michael from Vsauce works together with Adam Savage to find out the secrets behind “the leaning tower of Lire”.
    Wauw, there is NO Wikipedia page on this subject 🙂

Some more info on the subject can be found here.

 

  • Short movie: Sight, contact lenses with augmented reality.

Nicely made, but a bit too much for my tasting.

I do like the Wingman app 🙂

Quantum computers

Recently, Eindhoven professor Tanja Lange published, together with Daniel Bernstein and article in Nature about the downsides of quantum computers and the current encryption.

One of the lines in the article triggered me:

“An attacker can record our secure communication today and break it with a quantum computer years later. All of today’s secrets will be lost”.

Quantum computers are so powerful when it comes to number crunching, they can crack our most secure RSA’s within hours instead of years.
